Rubber seals — Joint rings for pipelines for hot-water supply up to 110 degrees C — Specification for the material

ISO 9631:2003 specifies requirements for materials used in vulcanized-rubber seals for hot potable and non-potable water supply (up to 110 °C). The different seal designations specified are defined according to seal type, seal application and the requirements for a particular seal. General requirements for finished joint seals are also given. Any additional requirements called for by the particular application are specified in the relevant product standards, taking into account that the performance of pipe joints is a function of the seal material properties, seal geometry and pipe joint design. This International Standard is intended to be used where appropriate with product standards which specify performance requirements for joints. This International Standard is applicable to joint seals for use with all pipeline materials, including iron, steel, clay, fibre cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, plastics and glass-reinforced plastics. It is applicable to elastomeric components of composite and non-composite seals. In the case of composite seals made from materials with hardnesses ranging from 76 IRHD to 95 IRHD, the requirements for elongation at break, compression set and stress relaxation apply only when the material participates in the sealing function or contributes to the long-term stability of the seal. Joint rings made from cellular rubber materials or with enclosed voids as part of their design are not covered by this International Standard.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9631 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee
SC 4, Products (other than hoses).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9631:1991), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9631:2003(E)

Rubber seals — Joint rings for pipelines for hot-water supply
up to 110 °C — Specification for the material
WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to
ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for materials used in vulcanized-rubber seals for hot
potable and non-potable water supply (up to 110 °C).
The different seal designations specified are defined according to seal type, seal application and the
requirements for a particular seal (see Table 3).
General requirements for finished joint seals are also given. Any additional requirements called for by the
particular application are specified in the relevant product standards, taking into account that the performance
of pipe joints is a function of the seal material properties, seal geometry and pipe joint design. This
International Standard is intended to be used where appropriate with product standards which specify
performance requirements for joints.
This International Standard is applicable to joint seals for use with all pipeline materials, including iron, steel,
clay, fibre cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, plastics and glass-reinforced plastics.
It is applicable to elastomeric components of composite and non-composite seals. In the case of composite
seals made from materials with hardnesses ranging from 76 IRHD to 95 IRHD, the requirements for
elongation at break, compression set and stress relaxation apply only when the material participates in the
sealing function or contributes to the long-term stability of the seal.
Joint rings made from cellular rubber materials or with enclosed voids as part of their design are not covered
by this International Standard.

4 Requirements
4.1 Requirements for material
4.1.1 General
The material shall be free of any substances which may have a deleterious effect on the fluid being conveyed,
or on the life of the sealing ring, or on the pipe or fitting. Elastomeric components of composite seals not
exposed to the contents of the pipeline are not required to meet the requirements of Subclause 4.1.2.
4.1.2 Effect on water quality
For hot potable-water applications, the material shall not impair the quality of the water under the conditions of
use. The material shall comply with the national requirements in the country of use.
4.2 Requirements for finished seals
4.2.1 Dimensional tolerances
Tolerances shall be specified from the appropriate classes in ISO 3302-1.
4.2.2 Imperfections and defects
The seals shall be free of defects or irregularities which could affect their ability to function correctly.
Classification of imperfections shall be in accordance with ISO 9691, as follows:
 surface imperfections in zones involved in the sealing function, as described in 4.1.1 of ISO 9691:1992,
shall be considered as defects;
 minor surface imperfections in zones not involved in the sealing function, as described in clause
4.1.2.1 b) of ISO 9691:1992, shall not be considered as defects.
Major surface imperfections in zones not involved in the sealing function, as described in 4.1.2.1 a) of
ISO 9691:1992, could be considered as defects. This shall, however, be agreed between the intereste
